Method :
Step One :
Wrap each of the 3 paper cups in a different material, and secure with tape.
Step 2 :
Add 50ml of boiling water from the kettle into each of the insulated cups. Use a thermometer in each to measure the temperature of the water at 20 sec. intervals.
Step 3 :
Collect up the data until the temperatures are equal again, and see which insulation has cause the temperature to drop quickest, and which has caused the slowest drop.
My Results
I found that in my experiment, the fabric cloth was the best insulator, and the water in the cup with no insulation dropped in temperature quickest.
